France, Italy and Belgium three more months to implement deficit-and-debt cutting measures or face fines.
The EU commission on Friday (28 November) is set to give France, Italy and Belgium three more months to implement deficit-and-debt cutting measures or face fines.
It is the first time the commission splits its verdict on national budgets into two parts: acknowledging that France, Italy and Belgium are in breach of the deficit-and-debt rules (Stability and Growth Pact), but delaying a decision on the consequences until March.
Apart from those three countries, Spain, Portugal, Malta and Austria are also at risk of breaching the EU rules.
